I certainly didn't expect the standard, "but the other guy's worse" argument here...

A country that begins with U....hmmm...??

Democrats are now the party of fiscal responsibility? cutin' pork

Almost makes ya' miss ICE....

Does that mean he becomes part of "the club" and no longer goes after fraud and abuse? If the SEC would've done its job, Spitzer wouldn't need to do half of what he did. Government regulatory agencies have been hijacked by the industries themselves.

Gotta love the logic... Three day work week

Reagan is only #17?!? Damn liberal media....

Pelosi=Halliburton

I don't think it's being a smart aleck; you're basing it on experience. As I said, I "believe" he will be different--doesn't make it so.

No politician is perfect, but I believe he will change things from "business as usual"--which is using government to enrich yourself and your cronies. He's the one democrat I voted for. spitzer Someone must've found this just for me...

Not to rain on your parade, but someone was way ahead of the curve here... Dr. K

Came across this interesting article, while not about peak oil, it's certainly related to the situation the US has created for itself by our oil-centric energy policies and dependence on foreign sources. While it doesn't state this, it highlights the fact that our dependence on foriegn oil is a more serious issue than peak oil. changing oil markets "Russia has found the Achilles' heel of the US colossus. In concert with its oil-producing partners and the rising powerhouse economies of the East, Russia is altering the foundations of the current US-led liberal global oil-market order, insidiously working to undermine its US-centric nature and slanting it toward serving first and foremost the energy-security needs and the geopolitical aspirations of the rising East.

Aha! The underwriting on the wall is clear now--they are behind the futures activity....

I wonder what the futures market activity is like????

You are correct. I'd rather see them go for another DT (or LB) with R1 pick (gotta stop the run), then RT (OL in general) with R2 and R3.

He outright flattened a Houston DL on one of JP's scrambles.

Absolutely. Every Econ book I ever read is on the shelf. My favorite shelf is in chronological order, beginning with the "Wealth of Nations." It's unfortunate that Milton and Maynard never met--that would've been quite a debate. By the way, I own two books by Milton. The second is "Milton Friedman's Monetary Framework: a debate with his critics."

Something that might surprise some here, the first economics (related) book I read was "Free to Choose." The irony.... RIP M-1 Milton....

"iTPS" strikes again!

I wondered the same thing about IRAQ. We've spent $400 billion minimum to date (most of the expenditures have been hidden in additional appropriations). Is this investment worth it? Was invading Iraq worth spending hundreds of billions of $s on the so called war on terror? Or is the $865 thousand question more important?

Paraphrased: It looks like you are doomed! Doomed I say! Hahahahahaha....... First month of fiscal year 2007 Those spendthrift rebulicans will do you in....

What's the final tally for the House? In perusing the posts, and i haven't had time to read them all, I hadn't noticed any comments about Rahm Emanuel. He was really the driving force for the dems in this election, and had a lot to do with supporting (choosing) dem candidates that were center, not left. I have to say, I'm impressed with what he helped carry off.

I look at these results, and my conclusion is: America is so out of touch, so ignorant, that they (we) decide to elect the inept party to control the worse than inept party. would u agree?

Where I had choices, I voted 3rd party--with the exception of Spitzer. I voted green party on AG and Senator, and Libertarian for Comptroller.

What would you suggest in a Cab of equivalent cost ($15)?
